Large pothole in left hand lane at start of sliproad to M4 Eastbound

Reported via mobile in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 12:15, Fri 12 September 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8156670.

Joining M4 Eastbound from A329(M), the sliproad has a large pot hole on the left side lane. This has knocked my vehicle off track several times as a weekly user of this route. This is at non peak times where traffic is light. As winter approaches, I would consider this a risk in adverse weather and skid risk. Having used this route weekly for a year, it has progressively gotten worse. Vehicle damage is absolutely a risk, including misalignment of wheels when hitting the hole at speed (its a fast junction) Please can this be assessed and rectified before someone gets hurt

Updates

  • Pothole is very dangerous. Knocked my car out of alignment and even at low speed it was almost a very bad accident.
